Five Ingredient Soups Thu, 18 Mar 2010 00:00:41 +00002010-03-18T00:00:41Z Soups are perfect for this strange time of year, when it can be 60 degrees one day and snowing the next. (Or is that just Minnesota?) These quick and easy soups are super quick because each uses five ingredients or less. My personal favorite is Tomato Tortellini Soup. Make it using chunky tomato soup instead of cream of tomato soup for even more texture and flavor. Serve any soup with an easy savory bread for a complete meal.

By the way, did you know that Corned Beef and Cabbage is not a classic celebratory dish in Ireland? It's considered too common. But for some reason we consider it the most 'Irish' of American dishes. Enjoy it with a couple of types of mustard (Dijon and grainy mustard are my favorites) and be sure to drink some good Irish beer. Photo © 2010 Linda Larsen, licensed to About.com, Inc. St. Patrick's Day Recipe Exchange And About.com's Food Guide Blogathon wraps up with Local Food Guide Molly Watson's recipes. Butter Braised Cabbage couldn't be easier: gently cook chopped cabbage in a bit of butter and salt for a meltingly tender, richly flavored side dish perfect to serve with roast meats of all kinds - including corned beef or roasted lamb. Or serve Potatoes & Cabbage, which are cooked with a bit of cream and topped with cheese for a hearty dish perfect for a vegetarian nod to St. Patrick's Day.

Since Corned Beef is so rich, I like to serve it with something crisp and cool. Cole Slaw is the perfect choice, and you can use it again to make Corned Beef and Slaw Sandwiches in a couple of days. Irish Soda Bread made into biscuits instead rounds out the meal nicely, and carrots glazed in the slow cooker add color and texture. For dessert, a simple pie is perfect.

Of course, what you're making is the filling, but isn't that what sandwiches are all about? Use pita breads, English muffins, plain old white bread, hamburger buns, whole wheat bread, or focaccia to hold these flavorful and delicious sandwich fillings. In fact, make a couple fillings with your collection of crockpots and have a party! Yum. Photo © 2010 Linda Larsen, licensed to About.com, Inc.

I think of chicken cooked in butter when I hear the name. Instead, this mildly spicy and rich dish produces chicken with a buttery texture. The chicken is cooked in a tomato sauce flavored with onion, garlic, ginger, and curry powder. Make the dish as mild or spicy as you like. I have seen recipes that add cardamom, paprika, turmeric, chili powder, and cinnamon. But I like to use a really good curry powder because that combines all of these flavors into one addition. Serve it with a green salad made with avocados for a cooling contrast, and some simple brown rice.

The dough in this no-knead, one-rise recipe for Hungarian Beer Bread can be formed into rolls or loaves, but I like them as sticks or pretzels best. Their crunch makes them good candidates for cocktails or, what else, more beer! Translate this into a healthier snack by using white whole-wheat flour instead of all-purpose. If you swap beef for pork in this hearty Polish recipe for Smoked Pork Butt and Cabbage, you have a dead ringer for corned beef and cabbage. Leftovers can be turned into soup or another meal over noodles. Everyday Menus: Butter Chicken originally appeared on About.com Busy Cooks on Friday, March 12th, 2010 at 01:07:46.

This delicious and beautiful dessert was created in honor of Anna Pavlova, the famous ballerina. The meringue is supposed to resemble a ballerina's tutu. You can top it with just about anything, from fresh spring fruits like raspberries, to shaved chocolate or caramel sauce. A classic topping is kiwifruit and passionfruit, a beautiful and unusual combination. Read How to Make Meringues for more information and lots more recipes.

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:00:16 +00002010-03-09T00:00:16Z Irish Soda Bread is one of those recipes, along with other quick breads, that everyone should know how to make. It was originally intended to 'pad' a dinner with a super quick and easy bread. The bread didn't need a long rising time, and the ingredients were always on hand. This loaf is tender and moist and slightly sweet. For a twist on tradition, try Irish Soda Bread Drop Biscuits or Chocolate Chip Irish Soda Bread.
